The prospect of regular first-team action in his native country could improve Remy's chances of securing a spot in Didier Deschamps' Euro 2016 squad.

Remy, 28, arrived in west London from QPR for £10.5m and has since netted 12 in 40 appearances.

The Frenchman was tipped to leave Chelsea during the summer, with the Telegraph claiming the club were willing to sell for £15m.

Remy risked the wrath of Mourinho this week when disputing the manager's claims that some Chelsea player's weren't showing enough commitment.

He said: "The manager makes his decision and picks 11 players. Whoever is playing tries to give their best and it's the same for the substitutes. But at the moment it's not enough and I don't know why.

"We are disappointed because of the loss but also because we need to play much better to win a game.

"It's difficult to pick one or two players who were better than any others. All the team need to improve. We need to be ready and play better.
